Companies, businesses, or organizations, large and small, often must rely upon the use of third party or proprietary applications and development process tools in order to build complex software projects. For example, a company may utilize a number of tools to assist in tracking and memorializing certain aspects of the development lifecycle of a program. For example, a traditional development system may host a business case tool to maintain data useful to a program manager to make business strategy decisions, such as whether to proceed with the program, make further investments, and the like. Other development process tools may be used to formalize the business processes used to develop a program, while still other development process tools may be used to track other such data, such as a schedule of upcoming milestones for a program.
Traditional program reporting may involve a program manager determining which development process tools may include relevant data, requesting data from each of the relevant development process tools, and then cross examining the multiple data sets pulled from each of the relevant development process tools. However, such traditional systems of reporting may be comparatively inefficient and error prone, as such traditional systems do not provide any feedback on the consistency and reliability of the data as stored across development process tools.
